Mornin Folks!

I've been tossing around the idea of selling the teener for quite some time now, and my wife finally convinced that its better to just keep it, and make it the way I want it.

Well...... we're looking at buying a house REALLY soon (in fact, we'll find out this afternoon), and it will have an oversized 2-car garage... lots of room for the many projects I'm considering doing. I'm trying to get the most dramatic results, from the lowest cost

Good ideas? Bad ideas? Let me have your thoughts:

1. Flares....... I'm not too bad with bodywoprk at all, but I actually PREFER the look of bolt-on flares. I'm thinking of keeping the car willow green, and the flares a flat-black color.

2. Buying a set of adapters/spacers that go from 4x130 to 5x114..... so I can can feel up the wheelwells with the 2-piece BBS' 18s that are currently on my Acura.

3. Paint...... Again.... I'm pretty good at bodywork, and have prepped several cars for paint. Never painted before though.... Can it be done in a garage... or do you need a paint booth to get decent results?

Same color (but new paint)........ keeping the vinyl roof......... flat black bolt-on flares........ 18 inch wheels.

I like the originality of keeping the roof. I like the original bumpers (not 916 kits)........ I like the look of bolt-on flares, and I like the look of a large wheel-tire combo.

Tell me I'm stupid.... so I don't have to do all this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Thanks!!
